The media seem to be pretty certain that Sam Mendes will return for BOND 24 (which is already in pre-production), but Mendes has hinted that this may be his only Bond film. Last November, at the initial press conference, Sam Mendes said that he would be up for another Bond film if all goes well with SKYFALL but with a recent interview with Time Out he has said otherwise.

"I've enjoyed it enough to do it again. I think the choice is in the audience's hands. If people love the movie and they want to see another one from the same people who brought you Skyfall, then that would mean a lot to me. I would feel like, 'Well, actually there are people who really want to see it.' But I feel like I've put everything I want to do with a Bond movie into this Bond movie. I would have to feel the same again to do another one. So, it would take a lot of thought to try and make it as special to me as this. I'm knackered, but I've loved it."
